Has anyone tried the diy fog lights where you drill an extra hole and put another bulb in the bumper lenses (trun signal) of the 5th gens? If you have could you post some pics?? How well do they work?

 

...using extra 194 sockets/bulbs.

 

wow that looks good

Do you have any trouble with the cops and your white bulbs in yours corners?

 

so far so good. i think as long as u have amber somewhere theyll leave ya alone :exnbp:.

 

those arent fog lights.... but to answer the question.... if someone were to install an actual fog light type socket in the bumper lenses, the light output wouldnt be too great... the light would not be aimed correctly and would not function as a foglight.... youd have to rig up some way of focusing the light.

 

true there...

 

i had them in my old car, i liked em

 

i wired my blinker bulb to stay constant. and my corner is the only blinker now...they're AWESOME. 1 of the best mods ever

 

looks better when u wire the bumper light to stay on with ur parking lights AND blink with ur blinkers. its hard to see the corner light blink, esp during the day. i melted 2 sets of clears, and just undid the wiring

 

Plus, fog light bulbs would melt the blinker light housings...

But yes, you can wire the bumper lights to stay on, then blink w/ your blinker. You just have to change some wiring and use a dual filament bulb. I'm not sure how to do it though.
